  Q: How to inspect and replace flexible brake hoses and Brake Line on 2005 through 2009 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: To ensure proper brake system functioning, inspect flexible hoses connecting steel brake lines to the front and rear brake assemblies every six months. Raise the vehicle securely on jack stands and carefully examine hoses for cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters, or damage using a light and mirror. Replace any defective hoses. To replace hoses, clean dirt from hose ends and disconnect the brake line from the hose fitting without bending the frame bracket or line. Use penetrating oil if necessary. Remove the U-clip from the female fitting at a bracket and detach the hose from the bracket. If the hose is directly connected to the caliper, disconnect the hose fitting from the caliper by removing the banjo bolt. Replace copper washers and attach a new hose to the Brake Caliper. Detach the hose from the front shock absorber bracket. Pass female fitting through the frame or frame bracket with the least twist in the hose and install fitting in this position. Install U-clip in female fitting at frame bracket. Attach the brake line to the hose fitting using a backup wrench on the fitting and tighten the tube nut securely. Check that suspension or steering components do not contact the hose by having an assistant push down on a vehicle and turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock during the inspection. Finally, bleed brake lines to ensure proper operation. Always use appropriate steel brake lines instead of copper tubing when replacing brake lines. Prefabricated brake lines with flared ends and fittings can be purchased. Carefully bend the line to the correct shape using a tube bender if necessary. During installation, ensure the new line is well supported in brackets and has sufficient clearance from moving or hot components. After installation, check the brake fluid reservoir level and add fluid if needed. Bleed brake system and thoroughly tested brakes before returning the vehicle to normal operation.

  Q: How to inspect and replace flexible brake hoses and Brake Line on Toyota 4Runner,Toyota T100 and 1995 through 2004 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Every six months, it is important to inspect the flexible hoses that connect the steel brake lines with the front and rear brake assemblies for any cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters, or other damage. This inspection should be done with the vehicle raised and securely placed on jackstands, using a light and mirror for a thorough check. If any of the hoses exhibit these defects, they should be replaced with new ones. To replace the flexible hoses, start by cleaning any dirt away from the ends of the hose. Then, disconnect the brake line from the hose fitting, being careful not to bend the frame bracket or line. Remove the U-clip from the female fitting at the bracket and remove the hose from the bracket. Disconnect the hose from the Brake Caliper, discarding the copper washers on either side of the fitting. Attach the new brake hose to the caliper using new copper washers. Pass the female fitting through the frame or frame bracket, ensuring the least amount of twist in the hose. Install the U-clip in the female fitting at the frame bracket. Attach the brake line to the hose fitting using a back-up wrench and tighten the tube nut securely. Check to make sure the suspension or steering components do not make contact with the hose. Bleed the brake system. When replacing metal brake lines, use the correct parts and avoid using copper tubing. Prefabricated brake lines with flared ends and fittings installed are available and can be carefully bent to the proper shape if needed. Ensure the new line is well supported in the brackets and has enough clearance between moving or hot components. After installation, check the Brake Master Cylinder fluid level, add fluid if necessary, bleed the brake system, and test the brakes before normal operation of the vehicle.
